Is The Amount That My Wife Is Receiving Correct?
Larry my wife started collecting her benefit at 62. I waited until my full retirement age. But when they added her to my benefit she not even close to half. I’m receiving $1,954 and she only getting $765. Is that right?
Hi,
Probably. If a person starts drawing reduced retirement benefits on their own record prior to full retirement age (FRA), the resulting reduction for age that's applied to their benefit rate continues even if they subsequently become entitled to spousal benefits.
